    Weight reduction

    Invest in a quality suspension set-up. It doesn't matter how much the care weighs if it can handle well with it. Even NAs are a lot of fun to drive with a good set up.

    Anyone in the mk3 community into drifting?

    A couple locals, one who is on the forums, do it here. Personally I think drifting is a waste of tires and motors but I have to admit some of them are pretty good.

    What are you reading?

    Currently reading "Mistborn" by Brandon Sanderson, excellent so far. Just recently finished the Imager trilogy by L.E. Modesitt Jr. Not only worth the read but a very interesting take on the fantasy genre.

    Emergency Brake Light On

    There is a button under the handle that switches off the light. Mine came loose and didn't make contact with the handle anymore, I adjusted it a bit and it worked just fine. I believe it was a 12mm but that was several years ago no so I'm not sure. You can test it by pushing the button with...

    ring and pinion question

    I believe the Supra uses a 7.5" diff and the pickups use a 8" diff. I can't swear to that but I wouldn't count on that fitting.

    ITB's anyone know where to get or does anyone make?

    My NA was surprisingly fast but I put way more work into it than the average(sane) person would. If you want to know about ITB's then I suggest you spend some time over at celicasupra, it's a pretty common mod on the 5M. The methods used can be adapted to the 7M. That said, I don't recommend...

    Check Engine Light Codes 12 and 71...how to fix??

    Has anyone had a *good* experience with Napa?

    Years back I had a problem with NAPA giving me the wrong clutch for my chevy 1/2 ton. I bought the first on in Washington, returned it for credit because it didn't fit, got another one in California which also didn't fit. Tried to exchange it for what I knew to be the correct one and the guy...

    Check Engine Light Codes 12 and 71...how to fix??

    Not just tight but clean. A little bit of corrosion on the contacts will feed the ECU surprisingly bad data. Shameless plug: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?132805-Write-up-Cleaning-electrical-contacts&highlight=cleaning+contacts

    2011 Mustang GT

    That MotorTrend video was filmed at the Streets of Willow, just few miles from my house. The surface is bumpy as hell with a lot of surface imperfections. Just sayin'

    Do i have a bad alternator?

    Never trust Autozone. I don't know how they are elsewhere but here in CA they're completely useless and they're parts are substandard.
